A04208	A Christian and modest offer of a most indifferent conference, or disputation, about the maine and principall controversies betwixt the prelats, and the late silenced and deprived ministers in England tendered by some of the said ministers to the archbishops, and bishops, and all their adherents.

defective_a and_o unperfect_a be_v true_a church_n who_o willing_a subject_n themselves_o unto_o their_o ministry_n make_v the_o very_a outward_a calling_n itself_o of_o the_o say_a minister_n to_o be_v such_o as_o it_o be_v and_o therefore_o so_o long_o as_o their_o conscience_n be_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n unconvince_v of_o these_o their_o error_n wherein_o they_o stand_v god_n take_v not_o away_o their_o ministerial_a gift_n from_o they_o and_o so_o long_o as_o their_o church_n cleave_v unto_o they_o though_o in_o their_o entrance_n &_o continuance_n they_o be_v and_o be_v guilty_a of_o much_o sin_n in_o approve_v by_o conformity_n and_o subscription_n the_o jurisdiction_n of_o prelate_n they_o think_v it_o not_o just_o whole_o to_o separate_v from_o they_o and_o their_o ministry_n but_o be_v content_a though_o with_o some_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n so_o far_o forth_o to_o join_v with_o they_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o they_o can_v without_o their_o personal_a

unless_o by_o such_o a_o indifferent_a trial_n as_o be_v here_o offer_v the_o prelate_n shall_v justify_v their_o calling_n and_o course_n to_o be_v of_o god_n 12._o opposition_n a_o vain_a thing_n

that_o shall_v read_v the_o same_o 2._o they_o do_v not_o think_v it_o lawful_a in_o any_o matter_n of_o religion_n much_o less_o in_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a consequence_n to_o settle_v their_o

may_v think_v themselves_o satisfy_v and_o one_o side_n yield_v if_o the_o prelate_n have_v this_o grace_n to_o yield_v than_o his_o majesty_n &_o the_o state_n know_v best_a what_o they_o have_v to_o

of_o any_o man_n or_o man_n whosoever_o and_o it_o be_v unjust_a for_o either_o side_n to_o require_v judge_n either_o incompetent_a or_o not_o indifferent_a for_o as_o the_o prelate_n may_v just_o
